In Qi Zhibiao's view, even if the Japanese tank crews are well-trained, their level firepower will be accurate. However, due to the lack of precise aiming equipment and the current power of Japanese tank artillery is still quite limited, the shooting accuracy of these 700 meters away is the most accurate.
It can only be said that it is possible. And judging from the current losses caused by Japanese tanks to their own positions, the role they can play is indeed the same.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance is currently not equipped with bulky old-fashioned water-cooled or air-cooled heavy machine guns. Whether it is the 12.7 mm machine gun and general-purpose machine gun as the backbone of infantry firepower, or the squad light machine gun, it is quite light and can move positions quickly.
The threat posed by Japanese tank firepower was not great.
Although it is unclear why the Japanese tanks only hid far away and fired instead of launching a group charge. But in Qi Zhibiao's view, those Japanese tanks are far less threatening than the Japanese artillery. He now has a 45mm combat anti-cannon in his hand.
battery, a battery of 76mm field guns that could be converted into anti-tank guns, as well as recoilless rifles and rocket launchers.
Although the number is limited, in addition to receiving professional and strict anti-tank training, the troops also have a set of effective anti-tank tactics. Qi Zhibiao believes that under such circumstances, there will be no problem in dealing with Japanese tanks.
He once studied at the Military Academy of the Military Region and had a certain understanding of various tanks equipped by the Japanese army. However, he did not attach great importance to those tanks of the Japanese army.
In addition to the thicker Type 97 tanks of the Japanese army in front of him, the other Type 95 light tanks and Type 94 armored vehicles. As long as the distance between these two so-called tanks is moderate, it goes without saying that they have anti-tank effects.
Recoil rifles, rocket launchers, and even the 12.7mm high-level and flat machine gun in my hand can turn them into colanders.
Even when the Japanese tanks appeared in front of him, he had already made arrangements in advance. The 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and the reinforced twin-mounted 14mm machine gun in the regiment could hit the Japanese Type 95 tanks and
Type 94 armored vehicle. The 76mm field gun and the 47mm combat anti-aircraft gun are designed to deal with the relatively thick-skinned Type 97 medium tanks.
He is quite satisfied with this distribution plan. The Japanese Army's Type 95 tanks and Type 94 armored vehicles have been tested by the military region. In the state of level shooting, the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun can reach within 500 meters.
Penetrate the Type 95 tank. As for the Type 94 armored vehicle, its lethality within one thousand meters is absolutely astonishing.
As long as these two Japanese armored vehicles dare to press on them, the 12.7mm machine gun in my hand can make it impossible for them to come back. What's more, I also have 14mm twin guns in my hand that are more powerful and have a longer range.
Mounted anti-aircraft machine guns? To deal with these two so-called tanks of the Japanese army, there is no need to use armor-piercing bullets. If you use ordinary bullets, there will be no problem at all.
In the confident view of Qi Zhibiao, as long as the Japanese army does not put these more than 60 tanks and armored vehicles into attack at the same time, he has nothing to worry about. The distance is far, and I can't do anything to you. But if you get closer, I have what I have on hand.
The equipment is enough to make it impossible for you to come back. And judging from the situation on the entire battlefield, even if the Japanese army wants to put more than 60 tanks into the attack at the same time, they don't have such a wide front.
It is true that the terrain of the Twelve Tut Line is grassland, but this grassland terrain is not flat. Although the terrain is not very undulating, it is incomparable with the mainly mountainous terrain in other areas of Linxi. However, it leaves a front that is suitable for Japanese tanks to attack.
The width is not very wide.
Unless the Japanese army wants their tanks to huddle together and launch an attack in a dense target formation, the width of the frontal battlefield can only accommodate up to thirty tanks to attack at the same time. And for these tanks, an assault may bring
As a result, Qi Zhibiao didn't care at all, because in his opinion, the existing equipment in his hands was enough to cope with a simultaneous assault of thirty tanks at a time.
Of course, as an authentic infantry commander, Qi Zhibiao's understanding and mastery of tank tactics is not comprehensive enough and has considerable limitations. If he knew that tanks can also adopt wave-like attacks, the power of their short-term stoppage of shooting will
If it is more accurate than ordinary artillery, I wonder if he will take it so lightly.
In fact, the four Soviet-made 1927-style 76mm field guns in Qi Zhibiao's hands have a maximum range of 7,700 meters and a maximum armor-piercing thickness of 23mm within a distance of one thousand meters.
Even if it were to destroy the Japanese Type 97 tank hiding 700 meters away with a cold cannon, it wouldn't be any problem.
What's more, those Type 95 light tanks with thin skins and a maximum armor thickness of only 12 mm? Even if they do not use standard armor-piercing bullets, they only use ordinary high-explosive anti-personnel grenades. As long as they are hit by one shot at a distance of 700 meters, no matter what
Whether it was the Type 95 light tank or the so-called Type 97 medium tank, neither one of them could escape the disaster.
Not only are the four temporarily converted 76mm field guns no problem against Japanese tanks 700 meters away, but the four Soviet-made M1937 45mm anti-tank guns can fire armor-piercing shells at 1,000 meters.
With an armor-piercing capability of 30 mm, there is no problem in destroying Japanese tanks from 700 meters away.
It's just that the troops have been exposed to the two standard Soviet regimental support artillery and anti-tank artillery. Among the Soviet army, they are equivalent to the Type 41 mountain gun and the Type 92 infantry gun of the Japanese infantry wing artillery squadron.
, I am not too proficient in using it. Especially my familiarity with its performance is still quite insufficient, and I have not yet mastered it all.
Moreover, the gunners who were temporarily trained on the interspersed road were basically two swords. The Soviet-made field gun did not matter. Although there was a difference in use with the Japanese field gun equipped by the army, the general structure and firing method
In terms of performance, they are basically the same. Although it is a little difficult for artillery to hit a tank 700 meters away, it can definitely kill a tank at a distance of 500 meters.
But the Soviet standard 45mm anti-tank gun, a completely unfamiliar artillery, is at best only slightly familiar. For aiming, we can only adopt the simplest visual aiming method, at a distance of 700 meters.
The accuracy of its shooting plummeted. At a distance of 700 meters, it was difficult to hit the constantly moving Japanese tanks.
A qualified anti-tank gunner cannot be trained to maturity in a short period of time. Although Yang Zhen has always required all artillery units, except for rocket artillery, all artillery that can be used for direct fire must undergo anti-tank training. But
After all, the way this anti-tank artillery is used is quite different from that of ordinary artillery.
There are currently not many real anti-tank guns in the Anti-Japanese Alliance due to excessive battle damage after two years of hard fighting. The total number has dropped to less than 300. And Yang Zhen is unwilling to imitate these two properties.
In fact, the combat defense artillery has fallen behind, so there are not many real combat defense artillery in the Anti-Japanese War at present.
The average distribution of a division with tens of thousands of people is less than twelve. This standard is a bit too small for a main field division. Moreover, this is still the equipment standard of the old army. Some later formed divisions are
Simply have only six to eight, and replace the rest with recoilless rifles and rocket launchers.
If Wang Guangyu hadn't been chasing rabbits this time and ransacked the Soviet equipment warehouse in Outer Mongolia. According to the first division, the main division of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, there were only eight Polish imitation Bofors 37 anti-aircraft guns and four
In terms of equipment quantity, there are one legal 47mm combat anti-cannon and six legal 25mm anti-tank guns.
And this is the division with the largest number of combat defense guns and the best performance among the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Especially the four legal 47mm combat defense guns, which are the best-performing combat defense guns in the entire army and are also the most powerful.
The largest battle defense artillery. Apart from the troops directly under the headquarters, it is the only division-level unit equipped with this kind of combat defense artillery.
This kind of French anti-tank gun was given to the Soviet Union by the Germans in accordance with the previous agreement after the war in Western Europe. It was the latest French artillery that embodies the latest Western technology. It was just that the Soviet Union was comparing it with its own 45mm anti-tank gun.
After that, I felt that the performance of the 45mm artillery was not as good as my own, so I handed over these sixteen guns to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Among the whole army, these sixteen guns were the only one. The first division troops were still defeated because of this roundabout.
For this reason, it is only equipped with four doors.
According to the current configuration standards of the anti-Japanese war artillery, this kind of performance is excellent, and its power is still higher than the 47mm combat anti-cannon originally equipped by the Anti-Japanese League. It is also the most powerful combat anti-artillery in the world.
In less than twelve turns, the front line is no more than the strength of a battalion.
This is because the tank regiment previously allocated to the 23rd Division has never appeared in previous battles. Even Wang Guangyu cannot accurately judge whether the Japanese army will actually appear in this regiment with nearly 70 tanks.
At what location, he was assigned a company here.
Otherwise, where can Qi Zhibiao get his turn to equip the Soviet-made combat anti-cannon with performance far superior to the two current standard anti-Japanese war anti-cannons? The number of previous combat anti-cannons was too insufficient, and the performance gap was large. So these
The artillery training team, which was temporarily reorganized, was not familiar with the use of combat anti-aircraft guns. It was even more unfamiliar with this Soviet-made anti-tank artillery, which had never been used before.
Some of the Soviet-made combat anti-aircraft guns captured in the hands of the Mongolian army in Hailar, as well as those subsequently received from the Soviet army, were handed over to the rear at that time. Moreover, the number of Soviet-made 45mm anti-tank guns obtained at that time was not
There are a lot of them, with only forty-eight in total. Because the First Division is currently the division equipped with the most combat defense artillery in the entire army, there is no supplement for the First Division.
These forty-eight combat anti-tank guns were transferred to the rear by the headquarters, and in addition to the four equipped by the first division directly under the headquarters, four independent anti-tank battalions were formed with the remaining twelve 47-mm combat anti-tank cannons.
At present, among the four independent anti-tank battalions, except for one battalion assigned to Du Kaishan, the rest are fighting north of Xinjing. The 1st Division is not equipped with the most combat anti-tank artillery since it is already the division with the most combat anti-tank artillery.
If you are familiar with and master the performance of a kind of artillery, can you really learn it by firing a few shots during the march? This is not the case for ordinary mountain and field artillery, not to mention the higher requirements for operation and shooting accuracy.
High, and it is a new type of anti-tank artillery that was completely unfamiliar before? This thing is designed by every country, and it is completely different from other countries. It is almost impossible to master it in a short time.
In order to avoid unnecessary consumption of artillery shells and unnecessary losses under the firepower of the Japanese heavy artillery, Qi Zhibiao did not let these field guns block the Japanese tank group hiding 700 meters away. Anyway, they fired artillery support from the outside.
Not engaging in attack.
For Qi Zhibiao, his biggest headache right now is the Japanese artillery fire. Not only the infantry positions were razed to the ground, but even the artillery was suppressed by the Japanese firepower.
Outside, the rest of the battalion's 82 mortars, 45mm combat artillery, and 76 field guns were unable to fire at all.
